Editing Kor'Vattra (section)

== Escorts ==

These mostly don't have Warp drives, and instead must be towed by bigger ships. They make up for this by carrying an XBAWKSHUEG Number of Railguns or other annoying weapons on them. You can consider their equivalents in the Imperial navy to be frigates.

*'''Kir'qath''': Also known as the Defender class, it was the first escort, and for the longest time the ONLY escort in the Kor'vattra. Additionally, it is one of the only escorts that has it's own Warp drive. Unlike its fellow ships in the cruiser and Battleships classes however, it still retains its usefulness after the Damocles Gulf debacle. They are equipped with Railgun batteries and Torpedoes, but is so fucking slow that Imperial Sword Frigates can literally ballet dance in front of them. Until the Tau captain decides he's had it with the bullshit and proceeds to cream the fuck out of that arrogant Gue'la.

*'''Skether'qan''': Also known as the Messenger Class, it is yet another one of the smaller Warp capable ships in the Kor'vattra. Unlike most of these ships, it only carries one Railgun. Why, one may ask, would ANY T'au ship carry only a single Railgun? The answer is because it acts like a [[Pathfinder Team|Pathfinder]], but in SPEHHSSS. They literally exist to make their bigger, cooler brothers hit things more, while hiding in the shadow of their other, larger vessels. In short, they are the biggest cowards in the entire fucking galaxy. I mean Jeez, even Fire Warriors have more balls than these fools.

*'''Kass'l''': Also known as the [[Orca|Orca]] Class. Orca Gunships are pencil thin looking buggers, but are more nimble than the Defender, bristling with Ion cannons and Railguns, but lack the juicy warp drives, requiring them to <s>leech</s> attach to larger ships in the Kor'vattra. Besides that, there's not really much to them. Not Great, not bad. Oh, and they were featured in the T'au trailer for BFGA1. That's all folks.

*'''Kir'la''': Also known as Warden Class. These guys typically travel with Custodians, the big battleships of the Tau empire, in order to provide escort. Though they are bristling with Rail and Ion Batteries, they have to leech onto the mothership in order to get the warp jumps. Featured quite prominently in the T'au trailer for BFGA1, much like the Orca. Like the Protector, it has a Manta Ray design to it.

*'''Kir'shasvre''': Also known as the Castellan class. These vessels are literally Firestorm Frigates, but they have torpedoes and Railguns, must be dragged into battle, and have a similar design to the Warden. Not much else is really known about them, except that a fuckload of them helped at the Battle of Taros.
